Precisely my thoughts while watching the trailer. That happens to me a lot though - watching Walking Dead thinking "Man, I gotta run another survival horror GURPS game" (which, frankly, my group would straight up murder me for), or playing XCOM thinking "Gee, this would make for a cool Spycraft game".

Yeah, this has gone from must see to owie in the span of just one preview. Well, that and all the scuttlebutt about the showrunners not seeing eye to eye with regard to tone and content. Shame. This seemed to have real promise.

After watching the first episode I putting it firmly in a we'll see.

It's weak in some places and it really is the Izzard-O'Connell show, with a strong showing for Cook (Eddie) and Wakefield (Marilyn). It's strong bits (almost all of which were Izzard or O'Connell) were very strong. It's weak bits just sort of meandered. You do have to accept that Herman and Grandpa in this are pretty different then the original though.

So, like I said, we'll see.

Actually, we won't. The reason it was broadcast as a holiday special is because the series wasn't greenlit. That's all that currently exists for the show and unless something shocking happens there won't ever be any more.

Personally, I'm fine with that. I liked the visuals and there were kernels of good ideas in the story but on the whole it just isn't polished enough to move forward IMO.
